Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver's responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Read your Owner's Manual for important feature limitations and information.
Safety Alert SeatF — The driver's seat pulses — left side, right side, or simultaneously — to alert the driver of the direction of potential hazards.
Forward Collision Alert— The
Vehicle Ahead Indicator is green on the instrument cluster when a vehicle is detected and is amber when following a vehicle ahead much too closely. When approaching a detected vehicle directly ahead too rapidly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (if selected).
Follow Distance IndicatorF — The follow distance to the vehicle ahead is indicated in seconds under the Info menu on the Driver Information Center. If no vehicle is detected ahead, dashes are displayed.
Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking— In detected potential imminent collision situations with vehicles directly ahead, the system can provide alerts and enhance driver braking or apply the brakes, if you have not already done so, to help reduce the severity or help avoid collisions at very low speeds.
Front Pedestrian Braking — During daytime driving, the system can detect pedestrians directly ahead up to a distance of approximately 131 feet and displays an amber
indicator. When approaching a detected pedestrian too quickly, a red alert flashes on the windshield and the Safety Alert Seat pulses or rapid beeps sound (if selected). The system may enhance driver braking or automatically brake the vehicle, if you have not already done so.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning— The system may help avoid collisions due to unintentional lane departures. The
Lane Keep Assist Indicator is green on the instrument cluster if the system is available to assist. If the vehicle approaches a detected lane marking without using a turn signal in that direction, the system may assist by gently turning the steering wheel and displaying an amber
.
If active driver steering is not detected, the amber may flash and the Safety Alert Seat may pulse or beeps may sound (if selected) on the side of the departure direction as the lane marking is crossed. The Lane Keep Assist system does not continuously steer the vehicle; the driver needs to steer and be in complete control of the vehicle.
Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone AlertF — While driving, the system displays a warning symbol on the left or right side mirror when a vehicle is detected in that side blind zone area or rapidly approaching that area. The warning symbol flashes if a turn signal is activated when a vehicle has been detected on the same side.
Traction Control and StabiliTrak Systems — The full-time traction control system limits wheelspin and the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system assists with directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. Both systems turn on automatically every time the vehicle is started. Traction control should be turned off if the vehicle is stuck and rocking the vehicle is required.
Rear Vision Camera — When the vehicle is in Reverse, a view of the area behind the vehicle displays on the infotainment screen. Vehicle speed must be below 8 mph.
HD Surround VisionF — The Surround Vision system displays the area surrounding the vehicle along with front and rear camera views on the infotainment screen. The system operates when the vehicle is in Reverse or Drive while moving less than 8 mph.
Rear Cross Traffic AlertF — When in Reverse, the system warns of cross-traffic approaching in either direction by displaying a red triangle with directional arrow alert on the infotainment screen and the left or right side of the Safety Alert Seat pulses or beeps sound (if selected).
See Driving and Operating in your Owner's Manual.
